The WPIAL released the boys and girls lacrosse tournament brackets Thursday, with three Butler County teams making the dance.

Butler’s girls program (8-6) opens Class 3A tournament play 6 p.m. Tuesday as the No. 10 seed and faces a road matchup at No. 7 Penn-Trafford. It’s a rematch of the Golden Tornado’s season opener, a 13-7 road loss at Warrior Stadium in March.

The winner of that game takes on No. 2 Upper St. Clair in a May 15 quarterfinal.

Perennial powerhouses Mars boys and girls earned the No. 2 and No. 1 seeds, respectively, in Class 2A. The Planets boys (15-2) will face the winner of No. 10 Quaker Valley at No. 7 Bethel Park in a quarterfinal May 15. The Planets girls (15-1) will face the winner of No. 9 Franklin Regional vs. No. 8 Oakland Catholic in a quarterfinal May 14.

The girls have won consecutive WPIAL titles and three in the last four years; they beat Chartiers Valley 14-6 in last year’s final. The boys are the eight-time defending WPIAL champs and beat South Fayette 16-5 last year.
